‘All-time’ franchise sack leader Chandler Jones thanks Cardinals, fans

Newly signed Las Vegas Raiders pass rusher Chandler Jones thanked his former team and Arizona Cardinals fans on Friday via a message on Twitter.

“From the day I got to Arizona I was embraced by the community, fans and the Cardinals organization!” he wrote. “I’m forever grateful for the opportunity given! Thank you for an amazing six years! That was one hell of a ride huh? I love you guys and will always have some Cardinals red in my heart! – All-Time out!”

Jones’ sign-off as “All-Time” is probably a reference to his franchise sack record with the Cardinals.

Jones passed the late Freddie Joe Nunn on Nov. 7, 2021, with a sack against the San Francisco 49ers, his 67th since joining Arizona.

In total, Jones moved that record to 71.5 in 84 games. He added 262 tackles, 19 passes defensed, 23 forced fumbles and 131 quarterback hits as a member of the Cardinals.

Arizona acquired Jones before the 2016 season in a trade that shipped offensive lineman Jonathan Cooper and a 2016 second-round pick to the New England Patriots.

Jones, a 2012 first-round pick out of Syracuse, played for the Patriots his first four seasons and won Super Bowl XLIX before heading to the desert.
